The whole album was recorded with a budget of less than 1,000 USD. In an online Q&A session, Barrett commented on the notoriously lo-fi sound achieved on the album, mentioning how "a lot of Deathconsciousness was recorded through the pinhole mic on laptop". I think it started coming together as a project, like my dad passed away and I think that sort of threw things sharply into focus." We had a lot of material always because we would just get together and always write new stuff, and never work on the old stuff. We were recording songs and we had a bunch of stuff we didn’t know what to do with. I wrote reams and reams during that time." Regarding how the project came to fruition, Barrett remarked that "We didn’t have a grand plan for it. At the time I had a job where I would have to be into work at 4:30 in the morning, alone in a giant building, at a desk in front of a giant window. I'm constantly writing, then culling pieces that I think fit the music to build entire songs around. īandmember Dan Barrett was quoted as saying, "The lyrics were written simultaneously with the songs, though I tend to work in scraps. Another reissue of Deathconsciousness was released Septemby Enemies List and The Flenser. The reissue included a 70-page booklet with various paintings and lyrics.
